power & spin

The Yonex VCORE 98+ is designed for aggressive players who want to dominate rallies with heavy spin, penetrating depth and added leverage. Featuring an extended-length frame and the latest 8th generation VCORE technology, the 98+ delivers explosive spin potential while maintaining the stability and control required for high-level play.

Built for players who take full cuts at the ball, the VCORE 98+ rewards fast swings with reliable access to spin, confident shot-making and extra reach on serves and ground strokes.

Colour: Ruby Red

Pro Review

The VCORE 98+ is made for players who want to dictate with spin. The extended length adds noticeable leverage on serves and forehands, while the larger sweet spot keeps aggressive swings under control. It feels fast through the air, stable at impact, and rewards modern, spin-heavy technique.

Range Technologies

  • Larger Sweet Spot: An upgraded upper frame structure with an extended top section increases forgiveness and consistency. The tapered inner frame improves ball flex and pocketing, helping maintain spin even on off-centre hits.
  • Enhanced String Snap back: Horizontal grommets at the top of the frame allow the strings to move more freely, generating greater snap back and increased ball rotation for heavier topspin.
  • Faster Swing Speed: A redesigned aerodynamic frame reduces wind resistance, allowing players to accelerate the racket head more easily and produce higher spin rates.
  • Optimised Stability & Feel: Servo Filter, 2G-Namd Flex Force and VDM work together to improve vibration dampening, stability and ball dwell time, delivering a more responsive and confident hitting experience.

FAQs

Who is the Yonex VCORE 98+ best suited for? The VCORE 98+ is ideal for advanced and strong intermediate players who generate their own pace and rely on topspin to control rallies.

What does the “+” mean on the VCORE 98+? The “+” indicates an extended-length frame (27.5 inches), offering extra reach, increased leverage on serves and greater spin potential.

Is the VCORE 98+ more powerful than the standard VCORE 98? The 98+ provides additional leverage and spin, while the standard VCORE 98 offers a slightly more manoeuvrable feel.
